Defense minister praises Migron settlers as 'principled' but says 'the law is the law'

The evacuation of the West Bank outpost of Migron will be carried out without delay by the court-ordered September 4 deadline, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Wednesday on Army Radio.

“The decision of the Supreme Court is binding and important,” he said. “This hurts the Migron residents, who are very principled people although I disagree with their positions. But the law is the law.”
